In Loving Memory of Donna M. Manger

Donna M. Manger

Born in Dunmore, she was the daughter of the late Anthony and Mary Agnes Corvelli Salico. She was a 1964 graduate of Cathedral High School, Scranton. She received her bachelor's degree and a master's degree in social work from the University of Scranton. Before retirement, she was employed by Allied Services Rehabilitation Hospital.

She was a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, Dunmore, and was an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Yankees, for whom she held season tickets.

She was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, sister and friend, who loved all pets, especially her dog, Reggie. Donna overcame many obstacles in her life, and faced each one with courage and strength. One of her proudest moments was being recognized by the Lackawanna County Commission for Women for her commitment to rehabilitation patients.

Donna's family would like to thank the staff at the Geisinger Community Medical Center intensive care and progressive care units for their outstanding nursing care.

She was also preceded in death by her former husband, John Manger; and an infant sister, Mary Jane.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Thursday at 11 a.m. in St. Mary of Mount Carmel Church, Chestnut Street, Dunmore. Interment in Forest Hill Cemetery, Dunmore. All those attending the Mass are invited to go directly to the church.

Family and friends may call at the Carlucci-Golden-DeSantis Funeral Home Inc., 318 East Drinker St., Dunmore, on Wednesday from 5 to 8 p.m.

We are so sorry about the loss of your Mom and grandmother. Paul and I were classmates of Donna's at Cathedral. Donna and I always sat near each other in home room for at lease 3 years. I am so glad we spent time getting to know each other again at the recent reunion and the reunion picnic. Donna was a special person, and again, we are so sorry for your loss.
